The Sunflowers Are Smiling

Our sunflowers are smiling in all their glory. I really never appreciated the sunflower décor fad from a few years ago but I sure like them in our garden. And the honey bees, butterflies and moths are sure liking them too. I didn't understand why there was such a flurry with the honey bees so I did some research. Wikipedia, here I come. The honey bees gather pollen and use it as a protein which is necessary during brooding....never knew that. I knew they used their honey to feed on during the winter months but not anything about pollen. So a little education coming your way along with some pictures.
